(From Wednesday's Daily) 

city fathers met in regular 
last evening, the Mayor and 
Elliott, Crawford and Ran- 
kin being peesent, The meeting was 
long and somewhat dreary, as are 
most of the council meetings here. 

Among the correspondence read 
was a letter from Alderman Craw- 
ford to the city solicitor, t Whom 
correspondence read at a previous 
meeting with reference to the trees 
for Allendale park, had been refer- 
red. The Ald stated that 
upon the report the parks com- 
mittee being adopted he and Alder: 
man Elliott made a selection of 
trees and Alderman Crawford signed 
a contract as chairman of the 
parks committee, Afterwards he 
was informed by Mayor Mille that 
thie contract would not do and a 
contract would have to be drawn 
up and signed by the mayor and se- 
cretary treasurer He told Mr. Stev- 
the Alberta Nursery Co.'s re- 
presentative, of thie and Mr, Steven- 
eon expressed his willingness to have 
a contract drawn up Mr, Steven- 
then got an order from Mr, 
Downes, the then secretary treasurer 
and without waiting for a further 
contract had the trees sent on, When 
they arrived the company’s repre- | 
sentative went to Alderman C.iaw- 
ford for instructions and was was 
told that the Alderman could = not 
give him any. The representative 
made a Verbal agreement with Al 
derman McKenzie and the trees were 
planted Alderman Crawford denied 
that he ever acknowledged that the 
tress were alive and healbhy or 
that they were planted In nccordance 
with his instructions, 

Later in the meeting when reports 
of the officers were reached, «a 
communication from the city «olici- 
tor was read advising that no writ- 
ten contract existed with the com- 
pany that wae binding, The city

Hail in Ninga 
District 


(Special to the Chronicle) 


Winnipeg, August 15—Hail and rafn|dersfor a general strike are expected | Europe, 
lid nuch damage inthe Ninga district! any day, and all operators may be out 
yesterday, 


[Paratuus drawn by the team, 


| were thinking 


the account asd it was not known 


who ordered them. It was resolved 
that those articles which could be 
vouched for by chairman of 


committees should be paid for and 
the company reqtired to inquire as 
to who ordered the remainder. 

The engineer reported that i was 
essential that provision be made for 
laying water pipes to the laundry at 
the hospital. The cost would be 
$68, The report was adopted and 
the connections will be made at 

The engineer reported on the cost 
ofthe concrete walk along block 61 
The total cost was $1989.50; 
femgth, S11 feet; width, 154 feet; 
total area, 926 square yards, cost 
per yard $12.15, 

A deputation from the fire brigade 
consisting of Messrs. Geo. Groat, 
chief of the brigade, W.H, MeMahon, 
sub-chief, R. Peterson, secretary, and 
J.C, Wainwright, appeared to inter- 
View the council With regard to the 
walary of the brigade teamster, 
which it wae resolved at the last 
meeting of the council should be re- 
duced from 860 to850 per month. 

Chief Groat said he did not think 
they could get a first-class teamster 
for less than $60. They might get 
on inferior man or boy as low as 
#40, gut there was 8600 Invested 
in the team and $1,000 in the ap- 
and 
they did not care to trust them to 
a poor teamettr. 

Meeers. Peterson and McMahon wup- 
ported the chief's remarks 

Mr. Wainwright asked for informa- 
tion as to what amount the team- 
ster had earned While doing the ci- 
ty's work, and the chief stated that 
from thd LOth lofi J tly, Uo Ajupluet Tet, if 
the work of man and team were 
valued at84.50 per day, the sum 
of 72 had been earned by them. 

The mayor asked several questions 
leading to the idea that except 
when work was found by the team 
by the city the Wameter was not re- 
quired at all. 

Mr. Wainwright sald that if a fre 
broke out there would not be time 
to go out and hire qa teameter, «A 
man drising horses like the fire bri- 
gade team must know his horses 
It would not do to trust the team 
and apparatus to a stranger. 

Alderman Elliott said that before 
thie team was purchased the council 
of buying a single 
horse and light wagon for deliver. 
ing pipe, ete., which work was 
afterwards thought the fre team 
could do. No more expense for a dri- 
ver was incurred for a team than 
for a single horse, 

The delegntes wore assured by the 
mayor that their , | representations 
would receive commideration. 

A bylaw was passed providing for 
the regietratton of block 40, N. B. 
section 20; 52; 24, owned by J. B.

(Ooatiaued From Last Week.) 


The following mornif\’ Count Mar- 
lanx reported at 9 o'clock with much 
better grace than he had suspected 
himself capable of exercising. What 
she taught him of tennis on the royal 
courts in the presence of an amused 
audience was as nothing to what he 
learned of strategy as it can be prac- 
ticed by a whimsical girl. Almost be 
fore he knew it she had won exemp- 
tion for Baldos, that being the stake 
for the first set of singles. To his 
credit, the count was game, He took 
the wager, knowing that he In bis 
ignorance could not win from the 
blithe young expert In petticoats, Then 
ne offered to wager the brass candle 
stick against her bracelet. She consid- 


ered for a moment and then tn a spirtt 
of enthusiasm accepted the proposition. 
After all, she coveted the candlestick. 
Half an bour later an orderly was rid- 


pl Ke ie aes 


Beverly of

rf 


| fortréas?” she asked, 


ing to the fort with instructions to re | 


turn at once with Miss Calhoun's can 
dlestick, It is ow record that they 
were “love” seta, which goes to prove 
that Beverly took no chances, 

Count Marlanx, puffing and perspir- 
ing, his joints dismayed and his brain 
confused, rode away at noon with 
Baron Danglosa, Beverly, quite Lappy 
in her complete victory, enjoyed a nap 
of profound sweetness and then was 
ready for her walk with the princess, 
They were strolling lelsurely about the 
beautiful grounds, safe in the shade of 
the trees from the heat of the July sun, 
when Baron Dangloss approached, 

“Your royal highness,” he began, 
with his ferce smile, “may I beg a mo 
ment’s audience?’ 

“It has to do with Baldos, I'll take 
oath,” said Beverly with conviction, 

“Yes, with your guard, Yesterday he 
visited the fortress, He went in an offi- 
cial capacity, it is true, but he was 
privileged to study the secrets of our 
defense with alarming freedom, It 
would not surprise me to find that this 
stranger has learned everything there 
is to know about the fort.” His lsten- 
ers were silent. The smiles left their 
faces, “Il am not saying that he would 
betray us"— 

“No, no!” protested Beverly, 

—"but he is in a position to give the 
most valuable information to an ene- 
my. An officer has just informed me 
that Baldos missed not a detall in re 
gard to the armament or the location 
of vital spots in the construction of the 
fortress.” 

“But he wouldn't be so base as to use 
his knowledge to our undoing!" eried 
Yetive seriously. 

“We only know that he ts not one of 
us, It is not beyond reason that his al- 
legiance is to another power—Dawe- 
bergen, for Instance, Count Marlanx is 
not at all in sympathy with him, you 
are aware, He is convinced that Bal- 


Haldos stood at the window, 


dos is a man of consequence, possibly 
one of our bitterest enemies, and he 
hates him, For my own part, I may 
say that I like the man, | believe he is 
to be trusted, but if he be an agent of 
Volga or Gabriel, bis opportunity has 
come, He is in a position to make ac- 
curate maps of the fort and of all our 
masked fortifications along the city 
walls.” Beyoud a doubt the baron was 
worried, 

“Neither am I one of you,” sald Bey- 
erly stoutly, “Why shouldn't | prove 

* to be a traltress?” 

“You bave no quarrel with us, Miss 
Calhoun,” said Daugloss, 

“If anything happens, then, I am to 
be blamed for it!” she cried in deep 
distress, “I brought him to Edelweiss, 
and I belleve in Lim,” 

“For bis own sake, your highness, 
and, Miss Calhoun, | suggest that no 
opportunity should be given him to 
communicate with the outside world, 
We cannot accuse him, of course, but 
we can protect him, I come to ask 
your permission to have him detailed 
for duty only in places where no sus- 
picion can attach to any of his ac- 
tions,” 

“You mean inside the city walls?’ 
asked Yetive, 

“Yes, your highness, and as far as 
possible from the fortress,” 

“I think it Is a wise precaution, 
Don't be angry, Beverly,” the princess 
said gently, “It is for his own sake, 
you see, I am acting on the presump- 
tion that he ia wholly innocent of any 
desire to betray us.” 

“It would be easy for some one high 
in position to accuse and conyict him,” 
sald Dangloss meaningly. 

“And it would be Just like some one, 
too,” agreed Beverly, her thoughts, 
with the others’, going toward none 
but one man “high in power.” 

Later in the day she called Baldos 
to her side as they were riding in the 
castle avenue, 
try a little experiment of her own, 

*Baldosy what do you think of the 


“I could overthrow It after half an 
hour’s bombardment, your highness,” 
he answered without thinking. She 
started violently. 

“Is it possible? Are there so many 
weak points?” she went on, catching 
ber breath. 

“There are three vital points of weak- 
hess, your highness, The magazine can 
be reached from the outside if one 
knows the lay of the land, the parade 
ground exposes the ammunition build- 
ing to certain disadvantages and the 
big guns could be silenced in an hour 
if an enemy had the sense first to bom- 
bard from the elevation northeast of 
the city.” 

“Good heavens!" gasped poor Bever- 
ly. “Have you studied all this out?” 

“1 was once a real aoidier your high- 
eens,” he sald e@uply, “i, was impos 
rible for me not to see the defects In 
your fort.” 

“You—you haven't told any one of 
this, have you?” she cried, white faced 
and anxious, 

“No one but your highness, You do 
not employ me as a talebearer, I trust.” 

“L did pot mean to question your 
honor,” abe said. “Would you mind 
going before the heads of the war de 


partment and telling them just what | 


you have told me? 1 mean about the 
weak spots.” 

“It it is your command, your high 
ness,” be sald quietly, but he was sur 
prised, 

“You may expect to be summonet, 
then, so hold yourself in readiness, 
And Baldos"— 

“Yea, your highness?” 

“You need say nothing to them of 
our having talked the matter over be 
foreband—unless they pin you down te 


it, you know.” 
A the stone walks below the 
steady tread of sentinels rose 
on the still air, In the hallways the 
trusted guardsmen gilded about like 
#pecters or stood like statues, An hour 
before the great edifice bad been bright 
and full of animation, Now it slum- 
bered, 

It was 2 o'clock, The breath of roses 
sconted the alr; the gurgle of fountains 
was the only musle that touched the 
ear, Beverly Calhoun, dismissing Aunt 
Panny, stepped from ber window 
out upon the great stone balcony, A 
rich oriental dressing gown, loose and 
comfortable, was her costume, Some- 
thing told her that sleep would be a 
long time coming, and an bour in the 
warm, delightful atmosphere of the 
night was more attractive than the 
clone, sleeplows silence of her own room, 
Every window along the balcony was 
dark, proving that the entire household 
had retired to rest, 

She was troubled, The fear bad en- 
tered ber head that the castle folk 
were regretting the advent of Baldos, 
that every one was questioning the wis 
dom of bis being ta the position he 
weupled through ber devices, Ler talk 
with bin did much to upset ber tran 
juillity, That be knew @ much of the 
fortress bore out the subtle suspicions 
of Danglors and perhaps others, She 
Was troubled, pot that she doubted 
him, but that If anything went wrong 
an accusation agalnat him, however 
tinjust, would be difficult to overcome, 
And she would be to blame In a large 
legree. 

For many minutes she sat in the 
dark shadow of a great pillar, ber eb 
bows upon the cool balustrade, staring 
dreamily into the star studded vault 
above, Far away in the alr she could 
see the tiny yellow lights of the monas 
tery, lonely sentinel on the mountaln 
top. Prom the beights near that abode 
of peace and penitence an enemy 
could destroy the fortress to the south, 
Ilad not Baldos told ber so? One big 
gun would do the work If it could be 
taken to that altitude, Baldos could 
draw a perfect map of the fortress, 
He could tell precisely where the shells 
should fall, And already the chief 
men In Edelweiss were wondering who 
be was and to what end be might util 
ize hin knowledge, They were watch. 
Ing him; they were warning ber, 

For the first time since she came to 
the castle she felt a sense of loneliness, 
a certain unhappiness, She could not 
shake off the feeling that she was, 
after all, alone lu ber bellef In Baldos, 
Her heart told” ber that the tall, 
straightforward fellow she had met in 
the hills was as honest as the day, 
She was deceiving him, she realised, 
but he was misleading vo one, Off in 
4 distant part of the castle ground she 
could see the long square shadow that 
marked the location of the barracks 
and mess room, There he was sleep 
ing, confidently believing in her and 
her power to save him ‘rom all barm, 
Something lo her soul erled out to bin 
that she would be stanch aud true and 
that he might sleep without a tremor 
of apprehensiveness, 

Suddenly she smiled nervously and 
drew back into the shadow of the pil 
lar, It occurred to her that be might 
be looking across the moonlit park, 
looking directly at ber through all that 
shadowy distance, She was conscious 
of a strange glow in ber cheeks and a 
quickening of the blood as she pulled 
the folds of ber gown across ber bare 
throat, 

“Not the moon, nor the stars, nor the 
light In St. Valentine's, but the black 
thing away off there on the earth,” 
sald a soft volve behind her, aud Bey- 
erly started as if the supernatural had 
approached her, She turned to face 
the princess, who stood almost at her 
side, 

“Yetive! How did you get here?” 

“That is what you ure looking at,

abominating the guilty feeling that

her arm about Beverly's shoulder. 

“L have been watching you for half 
an hour.” she sald gently. “Can't two 
look at the moon and stars as well as 
one? Isn't it my grim old castle? Let 
us sit here together, dear, and dream 
awhile.” 

“You dear Yetive,” and Beverly drew 
her down beside her on the cushions, 
“But listen, I want you to get some 
thing out of your head, I was not 
looking at anything in particular.” 

* Beverly, | believe you were think-

soft hair. 

“Ridiculous!” sald Beverly, conscious 
for the first time that he was seldom 
out of her thoughts. The realization 
and her eyes crew 
very wide out there in the darkness.

THE LITTLE WOMAN. 


Exercise and Tricks of Dress That Will 
Make Her Seem Taller. 

The woman who wants to seem tall 
er must see how slender she can be. 
The thinner she is the taller she will 
look, other things being equal. But 
there are things she must do. 

These are the things to be learned: 
First, to hold up your head; second, to 
dress in long skirts, and, third, to dress 
your neck lounger and wear the bair as 
high as possible, You must wear your 
gowns broader on the shouldera and 
tiust dress wider, so to speak. Little 
women make a mistake if they wear 
tight fitting shoulders and long, thin 
sleeves, They only make themselves 
look wizened, 

The following is a good exercise to 
practice; Lift the arms, Then stoop 
and rest on the right knee, Rising, re 
verse the motion and rest on the other 
knee, Then run down the room, jump. 
ing from foot to foot. Then come back, 
still Jumplog and this time lifting the 
feet as though you were skipping. The 
final movement is to toss the arms up- 
ward and bend backward, 

There is a reason for all things, and 
the reason why these exercises make 
the littl woman taller is that they 
make her supple. She grows much 
more limber, and if you are limber you 
will seem to be taller than you really 
are, The little lithe woman who can 
skip about if necessary ia much taller 
lu appeaance than the little sti! wo- 
wan who cannot Jump about to save 
ber life and must walk as though se 
were ln a vine, 


PERFUMED CAPS, 


Dainty Method of imparting a Faint 
Scent to the Hair, 

For the womau who enjoys delicate 
scents the most bewitching cap has 
been Invented, It is made of either 
pink or blue taffeta and lined with soft 
white silk, It ls gathered up ike the 
caps of our great-grandmothers, leay- 
jug 4 charming little ruflle at the edge, 
frou which a curl or two may legit 
tintely escape, 

The cap |a softly wadded and per 
fumed. One night's sleep iu the pretty 
affair Jeaves your hair delightfully 
seonted for days, or it may be worn 
for a short time la the «fternoon be 
fore going out for a dance in the even- 
ing, and the balr will be sufficiently 
perfumed, 

The belr has the quality of retatuing 
Any odor, pleasant or unpleasant, for a 
very long Une, That la why the bouse- 
keeper is urged so strongly to cover 
ber locks with the rubber cap when 
(rylng buckwheat cakes, 

liquid perfume should always be 
veel In an atomizer, It will then be 
senttered tn the minutest quantities 
and will reach those bear you In what 
poets are pleased to call “faint, inde 
fvable waftings.” If you place your 
handkerchief at the top of the bottle 
and swash the contents against the 
fabric, you will waft anything but an 
“Indefinable” perfume, Atomisers are 
to be bad in all sorts of charming de 
signs, both expensive and inexpensive,

Shirt Waist Boxes, 

Very frequently shirt waist boxes 
may be bought at reduced prices in the 
shops, owlnug perhaps to the coverings, 
which do not always sult the taste of 
the purchaser or harmonize in tone 
with the furnishings of the room for 
which they are desired, These boxes 
are very useful vot only for shirt 
walsta, but for children's short clothes 
and shoes, and aro often used for patch 
boxes, They can be easily reupholater- 
ed and made more fanciful with litte 
trouble, One seen recently had a box 
plaited flounce or valance around the 
box of a dainty patterned cretonne, 
and the lid was covered smoothly with 
the same, The inner lning was ot 
self colored chints corresponding with 
the dominant shade in the cretonne, 
Sometimes rollers or casters are used 
to give more height to the box when 
it is to be used as a seat, In this 
capacity it is well to stuff the lid with 
hair or cotton, and the edges may be 
finished with a narrow furniture gimp.

Graphophone 


By Alice Lovett Carson 


Copyright, 1908, by Alice L. Carson 


The office of Horwitz & Mallon, 
wholesale brass manufacturers, shone 
with polished fixtures and fresh white 
wood, A pleasant, cheery place to 
work in, Mabel Thurston thought as 
she entered, She had come early that 
morning because it was the last day 
of the month and a great deal of corre- 
spondence had to be finished up, She 
greeted Dick, the office boy, before go- 
ing into her own Iittle sanctum, for, as 
the “graphophonist” of the firm, she 
‘was given a nook away from the rattle 
of tickers and other machines. 

“The boss left a note fer you, Miss 
T’urston,” said the boy as he followed 
her tn, carrying an armful of wax cyl 
inders. “There It is.” 

Mabel read it as she opened and 
dusted off ber typewriter, “No, 3 im 
portant—to be done first. Then 5, 4 
and2. ©, i.” 

She nodded understandingly and fit 
ted cylinder No. 3 into the grapbophone 
that stood on the table at her elbow 
Then she wound up and started the 
machine and, having fastened about 
her head the cap that held the tubes 
against her ears, sat down prepared 
for the work. 

The lostre ment buzzed a few sec 
onda, then started off. “Take this let 
ter to Messrs, Carroll & Bilggs, Mid 
die Roxbury, Mass.” began the gruff 
volce of Carl Horwits, She could al- 
most see the sharp glances he gave 
from under bis bushy eyebrows while 
he dictated, The typewriter began to 
rattle in a businesslike way. Other 
Stenographers and clerks came tn, 
laugbing and chattering, and settled 
down to work, aud the office quickly 
resumed its usual active appearance. 

Hurrying, for he was a little late, en- 
tered" Pierce Mallon, the junior part- 
her. He was Horwits's nephew, a 
bright young fellow of twenty-six. He 
hesitated a moment, with hushed face 
and embarrassed air, before Miss 
Thurston's door, then moved on to the 
inner office. Puzzling over the phras 
ing of a sentence, Mabel did not see 
him enter, though she always looked 
for hie morning greeting and felt some- 
thing lackiag tm the day when she 
tmilesed It, Of late the handsome boy 
who bioshed and stammered whenever 
he spoke to her bad bee often tn ber 
thoughts, 

“No, 5 next,” she thought pleasur- 
ably, handing Dick a sheaf of letters 
to be signed by Horwits, That cylin 
der always contained Mallon's corre 
spondence and she enjoyed hearing his 
sympathetic voice, 

“Please take this letter, Miss Thurs 
ton,” it began deferentially—so differ. 
ent from bis uncle's abrupt manner, 
“Mr, Henry 8. Wright, 45 Main street, 
Poughkeepsie, N, Y. My dear Mr, 
Wright,” and #0 continued, the girt 
Grinking in every word, 

“If you've finished that, the next is 
&@ personal note,” Mallon’s volce went 
on, He stopped a minute, then con- 
tinued with many halts and jerks of 
utterance, “Dear friend—no, my dear 
friend—Just leave out the nate, Miss 
Thurston, My dear friend, though I've 
wanted to do so many times lately 
fo fact, whenever I passed your door— 
I've never had the courage to speak te 
you of a matter on which | feel very 
deeply. 1 don’t kuow how you'll re 
gard this method of addressing you. 
No doubt It will seem to you as rude 
ae it le unconventional, but I must run 
the risk of offending you. Miss Thurs 
ton—Mabel-—I love you and”-— 

With a sharp exclamation the girl 
started from her seat and tore the cap 
from ber head, “How dare you?" she 
panted, ber cheeks faming with In 
dignation, To take advantage of her 
position to Insult ber In this way! OF 
course there were always little jokes 
that the tostrument permitted of— 
things the men would not say to her 
face, but never anything of this na- 
ture, James Cate, Horwits's secre 
tary, began his letters by drawllng 
out, “My deab girl, if you love me 
take this," and Steve Murphy, the 
business manager, sometimes tnter 
rupted his correspondence to tell a 
story in bis inimitable brogue, ending 
fo a lusty “Haw! Haw!" that always 
made ber laugh Horwits frequently 
prefaced bis dictation with remarks 
that consigned his correspondent to 
Jericho, but to think that Pierce Mal 
lon, of all men, should be guilty of a 
vulgar practical joke like this! 

She jerked the paper off her type 
writer and tore it Into bits, Then she 
stopped the graphophove and changed 
the cylnder for another, “If Mr, Mal 
lon’s letters are not all written today 
it's his own fault,” she thought hotly, 
with a feeling of joy that she could 
punish bim thus, 

But a dull ache that would not cease 
remained tn her heart, though she told 
berself over and over again that the 
fellow was a cad and a boor and she 
despised herself for ever taking bim 
for a gentieman, Her pillow that 
night was wet with some bitter tears 
as she tossed sleeplessly on the narrow 


boarding bouse bed, It is hard to 
give up ideals when one is only twen- 
ty-two, 


The same cylinder was frequently 
used more than once, for the surface 
could be shaved smooth ready for an- 
other lmpression, so No, 5 was brought 
iy vext morning by Diek, and, though 
Mabe! instinctively dreaded {t, she 
could pot refuse to take it with the 
reat, Mallon'’s volee began at once 
without Introduction: 

“IL buve offended you deeply, | know 
You thought it was @ practical joke, 
aod a poor one at that, Pardon me for 
being each a boor; but, Indeed, | meant 
every word, It wasn't a joke, but dead 
earnest, for I love you, love you, love 
you"— His volce broke passionately, 
“Ah, forgive me,” be went on contrite 
ly. “Ll am offending you again, but 1 
can't be silent when the phone tempts 
me, and | dare not speak to you face 
to face, Can't you pity me at least?” 

As she listened the girl's expression 
changed from tadignation to surprise, 
then to doubt, “Perhaps,” she said un. 
certainly, “he is speaking the truth aft- 
er all, Perhaps I misjudged bim, Ob, 


ization of her own feeling she 
face in her hands, 

Next day when she came to cylinder 
No. 5 In the routine of correspondence 
Mabel found herself hoping for the lit- 
tle personal message which should give 
assurance to ber beart. It came ab- 
ruptiy, but decidedly: 

“I'm going to stop this sort of thing, 
Mabel. It smacks of cowardice, and I 
want to be worthy of your respect. I 
mean to put my fate to touch at once, 
fo expect me this afternoon.” 

The girl's heart sang its pacan of joy 
as her fingers flew over a heavy budget 
of letters. When the day was over she 
waited for his coming till long past her 
usual time of leaving and went home 
at last, sad and uncertain what to 
think, 

“Say, you'll find some tall cussin’ on 
the tubes today, Miss T’urston,” said 
Dick as he brough? her the cylinders 
next morning. “The boss chased Mr, 
Pierce off to Boston in a hurry yester- 
day, then ripped round all the afternoon 
‘ca he couldn't find some rush or- 
ders young feller put away, I tell 
you, there'll be fur flyin’, you bet, when 
he gits back this mornin’,” 

Dick wondered why Miss Thurston 
beamed so on him and presented him 
with a rose she had just bought. He 
could not know that bis news had put 
fn end to a bitter heartache. It was 
Saturday, a half holiday, and her only 
fear was that Pierce would not return 
in time. 

The clerks had all left and even the 
elevator bad stopped running before 
she covered the instruments, and still 
be had not come, Slowly she adjusted 
her hat before the mirror, There came 
a rush of eager, impatient feet up the 
stairs, and the door of the office was 
burst open. He dropped his sult case 
and came forward with outstretched 
hands, 

“Oh,” he exclaimed, breathless and 
relieved, “I was afraid you would be 
gove!” She did not turn. 

“You know, don't you, why I didn't 
come yesterday? You understand It 
was not my fault—that I hadn't time to 
send you a note even?” She bowed her 
head in allence. “Ah, but you still 
think it was unomanly to talk through 
that olf graphophone! Forgive me, 
dear, 1 didn’t know what I was doing. 
But 1 do love you, Mabel.” He would 
not be discouraged by her silence, “I 
love you and I want you. Tell me, can 
you forgive me and love me a little In 
return?” 

Then she wheeled about, ber face 
radiant, ber eyes shining like gray 
stare, “Pierce, dear!’ was all she sald, 
but he was eatiefed, for he read thc 
answer in her eyes.

FURNITURE POLISH. 


Use It Sparingly, but With Plenty of 
Elbow Grease. 

As a rule, furniture in these days 
fatters from too much furniture polish 
rather than too little, The deLeate sur- 
face for which old pleces are famous, 
known as “eggshell gloss,” was oltain- 
od by a minimum of furniture polish 
nd a maximum of elbow grease, 

There ta an art tn applying furniture 
polish of which only the best trained 
servants are aware, First carefully 
remove all dust and dirt, stains, ete., 
then with a flannel apply a very thin 
film ot furniture cream to the wood, 
Take a duster in each hand and rub up 
the wood, the way of the grain, til! 
on touching the surface with your 
hand it leaves no mark, The reason 
for the two dusters ta that your left 
hand may not mark the wood as you 
rest upon It. 

For the last polish use a clean old 
suk handkerchief, 

Of course if it has been once neglect. 
ed wood takes a long time to recover 
its condition, but once this ts attained 
it takes relatively bat little trouble to 
keep it in good order, 

Furolture polish applied too thickly 
will smear and become a reaciar duat 
trap, requiring far more thine to keep 
in condition, even If this Is possible, 
than if cleaned properly at first.

—_— 


Movement to Secure Larger Observ- 
ance of the Sabbath. 


England is moving in the direction 
0 the better olwe:vanee of Sunday, 
ind it may be(eaid, in fact, that a 
arge part of Europe is tending in 
this direction. The following mighty 
words are trom that great oman of 
oublie opinion, ‘The London ‘Vimes: 
‘It is the bere truth to say that the 
weekly rest is now aecepted as an 
axiom of democracy. Again, what 
tver may be the grounds on which it 
is pressed for, universal consent urges 
that it should be Sunday, This seems 
natural enough when legislation or 
custom is guided yg predominantly 
religious influence, but it is significant 
that when the hebd- ~jyadaire 
was enactel in, France Inst year, 
though the law was by no means bas- 
ed on Sabbatarian grounds, moat of 
the employes insisted on simultaneous 
Sunday closing instead of the alter- 
native methods provided by the ‘meas- 
cre. The reason, doubtless, is that 
Sunday's claim is unique and unap- 
proachable, becaues it gives people, 
not only special opportunities for re- 
ligious worship, but also a chance of 
reat in common instead of rest in iso- 
lation. Hence, whether was look at 
the home, or a wider range of social 
Intercourse, there is no t plan of 
rest that can. compete with it. At 
the same time, since the ideal of 
every one resting at once is by no 
means easy to work ont in practice 
some people may have to be pre 
fo take their Sanday rest in rotation. 
Tt i# really a new science, which we 
are only just inning to learn. The 
French lew, which is struggling with 
a good deal of prejudice and many 
practical difieulties, will furnish a 
valuable starting-point for experience. 
That it has taken considerable effect 
already is plain to any traveler who 
presen a Sunday in a French town. 
nh this country we have not yet reach- 
el the stage fresh legislation, 
thorgh the old Act of 1677 with regard 
to Sunday trading still survives. But 
the unremitting efforta which Lord 
Avebury has foremost in mak- 
ing cannot long remain without effect, 
and the favorable report of a joint 
committee of both Houses of Parlia- 
ment marke a further definite stage 
in our recognition of the problem. To 
call it a problem haa become, indeed, 
misleading. Tt ia no longer a problem, 
but a received opinion, that work 
above all, our modern work under 
high preasure—ia impossible for man 
unless he is allowed at least one day 
in seven to rest his mind and body. 


60,000 MILE WALK. 


Achieved Adventurous Feat. 


Mark All, the champion pedestrian 
of the world, who started out on Aug: 
ust 6, 1900, to walk 60,000 miles in 
seven yoars, moanwhile earning his 
living by the exercise of his trade 
of working engineer, has completed 
his appointed task with nearly six 
months to spare. 

Hin object was to prove that a 
workman ia not, as is often alleged, 
used up at forty-five, Mark All was 
born in 1834, and waa over sixty 
when he started on his tramp, He 
claims to have been in every town in 
Great Britain. 

He has traveled Switzerland, Bel- 
gium, Holland Lye pay, OF Portugal, 
and Spain, He has twice been through 
France, He speaks no language but 


English. 

He has had plenty of adventures. 
Tle haa been five times lost in anow- 
drifts, he has been struck by light 
ning, stoned, stabbed, shot at, robbed, 
and stripped to the skin. 

He recently had an interview with 
King Edward, who, he says, has nev- 
er refused to receive him, and has al- 
ways shown him the greatest kind-

Indian Cannibalism. 

Writing in Canada, a special con- 
tributor saya: Father Arnaud, the Ob- 
lat missionary, who is still living, re 
lates that he once met, at Sept Isles, 
a Nascapee woman who, before con- 
version to Christianity by Father 
Duroches, waa not y 8 noted sor 
coreas of her tribe, but an inveterate 
cannibal as well, Her first victim was 
her husband, whe had died of hunger 
and starvation, and ahe continued to 
foast until she had devoured three of 
her children, two of whom had died of 
starvation, while the third was killed 
by its unnatural mother, She next 
raised her hand against a woman of 
her own tribe, who had herself fed on 
the dead body of one of her children, 
and became food in turn for the min 
vrable Veronique, as the wretched 
woman was called, after her conver- 
sion and baptiam. It was the hunters 
of the tribe, in fear and trembling, 
and not her own remorseful con- 
science, that took Vi ue to the 
missionary. They wanted the fear of 
the Great Spirit put into her, and the 
falasonary commenced operations by 
having all her hair cut off and hung 
on a pole, at entrance to the In- 
tian cemetery, and kept her on her 
faees outside the church door during 
he whole continuance of a mission, 
Another missionary tells of the mur- 
ler, during the same year, by another 
[ndien, women, of two & re famil- 
es, Ww exception of one youn

two women, three boys and four girls, 
and she subsisted fer some time on 
their flesh,

Army. 


The very latest in wireless devices 
is the wireless automobile. The phrase 
is perhaps somewhat misleading t¢ 
the average reader. Of course the or 
dinary automobile is not run by an 
electric current obtained from a trol 
ley wire, and the term ‘‘wireless” 
does not have reference to the ab 
tence of such a means of conveying 
motive power, This particular home| 
of motor vehicle is used for sending 
messages through the air by the use 
of electricity and without recourse to 
wires. To send a wireless message 
there must be a wireless station, and 
the wireless automobile is simply 
such a station on wheels, with jointed 
poe which may be extended upward 
o a lofty height just as are the masts 
of an ordinary wireless station. The 
principle of the extension ladder of

the fire departinent is applied to the 
realm of wireless communication, and 
the result is the portable or movable 
wireless station, which may be used 
either for traction purposes or tor 
sonding messages, 

Though this is rapidly becoming a 
wireless age, the streets of Many cities 
aro still incumbered with trolley, tele- 
phone, telegraph and electric lighting 
wires, 80 it will not be possible to 
drive the so-called wireless automobile 
or motor bus through them with the 
fees extended high in the air amid 

je Hertzian waves. The device is 
not intended as a substitute for eith- 
er the trolley car or the car operated 
by use of the third rail system, It 
is intended primarily for use in war- 
fare in communication between offi- 
corse of an army. The new machine 
is the invetution of the wizard of wire 
less communication, Guglielmo Mar- 
coni, and his secretary, the Marquis 
Bolari, and has been patented in the 
name of the latter, With the pole 
folded up and resting flat upon the 
top of the machine the car looks not 
unlike many of the armed automobiles 
which have been invented since the 
military experts began the study of 
the application of motor vehicles to 
purposes of warfare, By means of 
the special apparatus of the machine 
the electricity generated may be util- 
ized either tor raising the pole, or 
mast, in the alr, for radio graphic 
tranamiasion or for moving the ma 
chine, The vehicle carries the pole, 
the alternator, the complete wireless 
apparatus and the operating staff, In 
ten minutes the station ean be made 
ready for action to ta utmost din 
tance, a little over ninety miles, For 
short distances it can act while in 
motion at half speed, This means 
that if in use in the fleld it can be 
run from point to point while mes- 
sages are being exchanged between 
officers who desire to communicate 

Marconi expects that the wireless 
automobile will be first used in the 
service of the Italian army, but the 
prediction in made that the device 
will be found useful on commercial 
lines where there is a breakdown 
of traffic or in similar emergencies, 

Though Marcon! has already accom- 

lished such wonderful achievements, 
Re keeps right on studying and ex- 

rimenting and making new inven- 

ons and improved apparatus just 
as if his name and fame were still 
to be made, His birth in Bologna, 
Italy, oceurred thirty-three years ago 
next April, and it was 17 years ago 
that he began experiments to teat 
the theory that the electric current 
is capable of passing through any 
substance and if started in any given 
direction will follow an undeviating 
course without need for a wire or 
other conductor, It was in 1806 that 
he made his first successful experi- 
ment in telegraphing without wires, 
and it was in the latter part of 1901 
that he sent the first wireless mes- 
sage across the ocean

WAS SHE DELUDED? 
trange Story of How a Woman 


His Identity. 


There are no limits to the str: 
things that can happen in this world 
of ours. Recently a woman who had 
been married fourteen years, in calm, 
incisive tones, explained to the be- 
wildered Magistrate at Willesden that 
lately she “had noticed a change in 
her husband,”’ and was now sure that 
& substitute had taken his place. The 
five children called the substitute 
“Daddy,” but she was sure that she 
was being imposed upon. 

“Bring this man to court if you 
ean,” said the magistrate, faintly. But 
the man will not go. Recently, how- 
ever, the woman explained why she 
is sure that a deception is being prac- 
ticed on her. She lives in a flat in a 
rather poor part of Willesden. 

Fourteen years ago, she said, she 
was married to a zine worker. She no- 
ticed the “change’’ when the last 
child but one was born. Although the 
new husband gave her 27 shillings a 
week, like the old one, some of his 
ways are different. 

‘or instance, the boots he wore 
were “nines” instead of “eights.” 
hen she saw that he was darker in 
complexion. He admitted this cheer- 
fully. “IT am getting a bit darker,” he 
said. Bat the decisive proof, came 
soon after, She noticed that a birth- 
mark on her husband's leg was miaa- 
ing, and asked for an explanation, ‘It 
went away not long after the baby 
was born,” she was told. 

Finally, says the wife, the new hus- 
band smokes the same tobeceo ae the 

one.

Duffaut and Mme, Charnier, 

The Prefect of Police, M. 
who is a most thoughtful 
vant, has ordered that “with a view | 
to the ibility of falla,”” men’s at- 
tiro will be compulsory for the lady 
cabdrivers, There seems to be a good 
deal of humor in the official notice, 
comments a writer. Are the cabwo- 
men expected to fall frequently from 
their boxes? They wit be quite safe 
if they do, for they are to wear “stout 
ee oons, short jackets, and boiled 
eather hata.” 

Leas than five minutes after setting 
out on her first day’s round, Mme 
Duffaut had her first experience with 
professional jealousy, A mere man 
driver whom she encountered addrens- 
ed her familiarly as “La petite mere,” 
and remarked that she was holding 
her whip like a wax candle. Mine 
Duffaut disdained to reply 

Further on near the Central Market 
4 woman inquired pointedly whether 
Mme. Duffaut’s husband mended the 
family hose. A milkman asked ten- 
derly after her health. A marketman 
saluting her with a tremendous aweep 
of his broad-brimmed hat, advised 
her never to drive on the left, be 
enause that was the side where the 
heart waa, 

A group of men drinking in a wine 
shop cheered her lustily and invited 
her to Join them, Two amall boys ran

Australia's Defence. 

At a recent lecture on “Military 
Formation in Australia” before an 
audience compe exclusively of 
military men, Mr, Long-Innea gave 
several interesting statistics regarding 
the Commonwealth, and drew up an 
array of figures, regarding export, 
which was stupendous, considering 
that the population averages but one 
individua Rit square mile. Dropping 
into the military affairs of his coun- 
try, he maintaned a free and impar- 
tial spirit, with one or two excep: 
tions, throughout the lecture. “The 
present war footing in Australia,” he 
anid, ‘in 40,000, but-a very big but 
the condition of arma is pretty shaky, 
and in view of the fact that the per- 
manent force is so amall that there 
are only % permanent officers, the 
land defence is wholly inadequate, 
and inefficient.” He also grieved; “It 
in a matter of regret we have no mili- 
tary college. An officer's examination 
in of a purely educational character, 
and nothing even remotely approaches 
a military examination.” There is no 
arms factory in Australia, according 
to Mr. Long-Innes, “Also,” he said, 
“there are no pensions for retired offi- 
cors, who, after a life’s work in the 
army, are turned out empty-handed 
to start life anew.” 

Oddities In Graves, 

There is a curious old gravestone in 
Prostoury churehyard which records 
the fact that one woman at least in 
Yngland died a bachelor, Her name 
was Sarah Pickford, and the stone 
ravely informs the reader she was 
teat interred “August ye 17, Anno 
Dom. 1703, and died a Bachelor in the 
48th year of her age,” 

A stone in Westminster Abbey re. 
cords the interment there of George 
Graham, who was the only workman 
that received the honor of being bur- 
ied in Westminster Abbey. He was a 
scientific instrument maker, who in 
1700 invented the deadbeat escape- 
ment in clocks, His funeral was at- 
tended by the Royal Society in a 


body. 

In East Ham churehyard there is a 
tombstone placed crossways. The wo- 
man interred is said to have been 
born cross, lived cross, married a Mr, 
Cross and died cross, Her dying re- 
quest was to be buried cross, and this 
was carried out, 


The Skyscraping Jonah, 

“I sup you didn’t know,” re- 
marked the superstitious man, ‘that 
many of the New York downtown of- 
flee buil and the Times build- 
ing uptown have eliminated the thir- 
teenth floor? It is true, They skip from 
the wweree a ag jueae, is 
almost possible, they say, rent | 
the offices on the thirteenth floor.” | 

Marmalade. 

Marmalade, then made only of 

quinces, was known in Henry VIII.'s | 


reign, The word is derived from “mer 
melo,” a quince, 


Rubies and Emeralds. 

The ruby is found in Burma, Siam 
and Ceylon, those of the first named 
country belng the finest, the so called) 
“pigeon blood.” Emeralds are found tn | 
the Ural mountains of Russia, in Peru 
and tn Colombia, the latter—in the An- | 
dean region—producing the finest, that 
termed “Spanish emerald.”

MAY RUIN BRITISH ARMY: 


Exploiting British Soldier and Blight 
ing His Future. 

The decision of Mr. Haldane and 

the Army Council to prevent the ma 

jority of soldiers qualifying for pen- 

sions is severely condemned in the 

“United Service Gazette,” which 


ays 

‘One of the most astounding  ot- 
ders that has ever been issued to the 
British Army ia that which was cir 
culated by the Army Council last 
week, whereby soldiers have been 
wantonly deprived of the right to 
earn a pension after long and faith- 
ful se , 
“So unthought of, so unexpected 
was ‘such a blow, that for the mo- 
ment it was difficult to believe that 
any officer in his Majesty’s army 
would lend himself to such a scheme 
for exploiting the soldier and ruining 
his future, 
“But as it became too evident that 
the work of confiscation had a real 
existence, a great wave of indignation 
spread itself through all ranks of the 
army, directed not so much against 
Mr. Haldane, the economist, as 
against the Army Council, the repre. 
sentatives of the Army ns they should 
be, but who seem more pliant than 
Mr. Haldane himsell in conceding to 
the demands of the Socialist clique. 

“Officers and men are being betray- 
ed on every side, and no man wearing 
the King’s uniform, no matter what 
his rank may be, feels that his posi- 
tion is secure. Men who have joined 
the aby! with the full intention of 
making it their career, and who have 
consequently sought promotion, now 
feel that all their efforta have been 
waated, and that their lives, eo far, 
have been mis-epent, and must be 
begun all over again.” 


“TOM THUMB” DEAD. 


of Most Perfectly Formed 
Dwarf In the World. 


Field-Marshal Tom Thunb, Richard 
Garnsey, has just died at Wellingten, 
the peaceful little market town in 
Somerset. 

Born on April 20, 1892, he created a 
furore fifty years ago, dense crowds 
flocking to the Egyptian Hall and 
various places of amusement through- 
out the kingdom to see this little man 
of 3 feet, who was acknowledged to 
be the moat perfectly-formed dwarf in 
the world, 

More than once he appeared before 
the late Queen Victoria, who evinced 
4 great interest in his welfare. 

hen he left the stage he adopted 
farming as an occupation, proving 
himself a keen, busy man, 

In Wellington he soon became a 
great favorite. Always he was goud 
company, revelling in @ friendly pipe 
with his rural friends, and ever ready, 
to talk over those old times when he 
was prominent in the public eye, 

During the last few years he walk- 
ed with the aid of a eruteh, in conse 
quence of an accident in which his 
leg was broken by one of his balls, 
His coffin was scarcely larger than 
that of a baby

By Motor Car to the Pole. 

The use of a motorcar is the most 
novel feature connected wth the Brit 
ish South Polar Expedition, which is 
to leave England in October next. 

It in to be under the leadership of 
Mr. E. H. Shackleton, who was third 
lieutenant on the Discovery during 
the National Antarctic Expedition, 
and, with Capt. Scott and Dr, Wilson 
made the record journey to the “fur. 
thest south.” 

A motor-car will be used, an inne 
vation modern in method, and, ae 
cording to the opinion of many Polar 
explorers, absolutely feasible, 

he carrying out of the changes of 
this car in order to make it suitable 
for the ice surface that will be on- 
countered is being undertaken by the 
Arrol-Johnaton Co., of Paisley. 

There will necessarily be modifica- 
tions of the ordinary type, but the 
essential principle of the engine will 
be adhered to. Apart from this spe- 
cial attention is being paid to the 
equipment 

On ite departure the expedition will 
proceed to New Zealand, and thence 
will go down to the winter quarters of 
the Discovery. After landing a shore 
party of explorers the ship will pro- 
coed back to New Zealand, and in 
the following year she will return to 
pick up the explorers, 

As similar expeditions are being or- 
ganized by other nations what may be 
called an international attack on the 
South Polar regions will be made. 


Maisonettes On Liners. 

Millionaires who appreciate privacy 
will welcome the latest improvement 
in ocean travel 

The Atlantic Transport Company is 
making structural alterations in ita, 
liners with a view to providing “flats” 
for those passengers who can pay for 
the luxury. 

The “flats” or “maisonettes” aro 
on the upper promenade deck, and 
consist each of three beautiful state- 
rooms and bath-room, In the day- 
time the beds in these rooms can be 
hidden and the rooms used as sitting- 
rooms, 

To each flat there will be a hall and 
a front door, and re ia no reason 
vy the occupiers should not have 
their names and the usual electric 
bell-push attached to the latter. 

The “maisonettes” will be Soft, 
long by 25{t. wide, and the chief room 
will be 16ft, square, The price of these 
“flats” in the summer season will 
vary. One person who wishes to take 
two rooms and a bedroom must pay 
£100,, and a family of four taking a 
whole flat would pay £176.

IN TOMB OF GOLD. 


Mummy of Egyptian Queen Discover. 
ed at Thebes—Was Once One of 
the World's Greatest Rulers. 


Theodore M. Davis has discovered 
at Thebes the tomb of Queen Teie, 
one of the atest names in the his- 


lar The worship of Amon, the 

god of his fathers, was proscribed, 

and, for the first time history 
persecution 


there was 


witness to the blind r of 
the victorious priesthood of eben 
and the intensity of their hatred to- 
ward the “heretic King.” 

The doorway of piled stones, which 
was sealed with the royal seal, was 
partially broken through, the wooden 
doors were wrench from their 
hinges, the great catafalque which 
stood above the coffin was torn to 
pieces, and the mummy iteelf turned 
over in order to orase the name of 
the “heretic King” incised on the 
sheet of gold which lay beneath it. 

Figure of King Erased. 

Wherever the name of the heretic 
was found it was carefully destroyed, 
and the figure of the Ring, adorning 
the solar disc, which h been en- 
graved on one of the gold plates of 
the catafalque, was chiseled out. 

The men, however, who thus vio 
lated the tomb were no common rob- 
bers. The havoc they wrought was 
the result of religious seal, and, save 
for these desecrations, the tomb re- 
mains as it was left by the priests 
amid the throes of a religious revo 
lution which had spent its force be 
fore Moses waa born. 

Wherever the excavators walked 
they trod upon fragments of gold 
plate and gold leaf, 

The coffin, when it was discovered, 
lay on a bier incrusted with gold and 
supported on four lion’s claws, aleo 


of gold, 

the woodwork of the bier has been 
converted into touchwood by the ac- 
tion of water, The coffin, however 
is intact, and in a superb example of 
the jeweler’a work. 

The wood of which ft was composed 
i« entirely covered with a frame of 

ld inlaid with lapis lazuli, corne- 
ian, and green glass. The inlay rep- 
resents for the moat part a pattern of 
scales, but down the middle runs an 
inseription from which we learn that 
the coffin was “made for Tele” by 
her son, 

Wrapped In Sheets of Gold. 

The mummy iteelf was wrapped 
from head to foot in sheets of gold 
There were bracelets on the arma, and 
a necklace of gold beads and orna 
ments of gdld inlaid with precious 
atones round the neck, while the head 
waa still encircled by a priceless ob- 
ject—the imperial crown of the Queens 
of ancient Egypt. 

This crown ia at once simple and 
exquisitely fashioned, and represents 
the royal vulture holding a signet- 
fing in either talon, while ite wings 
surround the head, and are fastened 
at the tips behind by a pin, The 
whole is of solid gold without inlay 
or other adventitious ornament, 

An idea of the personal appearance 
of Queen Tele in gained from the four 
portrait heads which replace the heads 
of the genii of the dead of Egyptian 


orthodoxy as the covers of the four 
eanopie furs 
These heads are done in 


Perpeen 
alabaster, with the eyebrows and eye: 
balls represented by inlays of lapis 
lazuli and obsidian, The face is that 
of a woman at once masterful and 
engaging; but apart from the lips there 
is little that is Egyptian about it, and 
the delicate subaquiline curve of the 
nose is European rather than African 

Many articles of artistic interest 
were found in the tomb. 


POLISHED SPEAR HEAD. 


Lord Roberts On Universal Military 
Training. 


Lord Roberta presided recently at 
the Mansion House over a meeting 
held in the interests of the National 
Service League, at which Dr, Emil 
Reich lectured on war, Emphasizing 
the importance of national training, 
he referred to the great part England 
had played in the world’s history, and 
said this role could only be kept up 
by maintaining the «# of the 
Empire on land and sea, 

In expressing his appreciation of 
Dr. Reich's lecture, Lord Roberts said 
they fully recognized that voluntary 
service was the only possible system 
for the Regular Forces, but this high- 
ly efficient army, this keen and pol- 
ished spear-head, must in times of 


reat national eme cy have be- 
sind it the stout repeveenned by 
the trained manhood of nation. 


Lord Roberts concurred with Mr. 
Haldane in the view that a nation in 
arms was the only safeguard of public 
interests should war break out, and 
that could only be secured by the 
adoption of versal military train- 
ing as part and of the equip: 
ment of citizens!

New Zealand Trout. 

Forty years ago, says The County 
Gentleman, there was not a single 
trout in all the length and breadth of 
New Zealand. Today New Zealand 
trout are famous all over the world 
for their size and numbers, and thou- 
sands of fishermen come every year 
simply and solely to fish-—to all 
the time and do nothing but fish. 
There is no doubt at all about New 
Zealand being the angler’s paradise, 
Everything possible is done to help 
him and encourage him and make 
him comfortable. Hotels in some 
parts exist solely for him, hotel mana- 
gers are always ready give advice, 
and in every town and village fishing 
tackle shops abound, where polite ee 
prietors are ready with rods, on, 

ts and information of all kinds 
about the state of the rivers, the fish 
in them, the sort of fly to be used and 
everything else that the would-be 

rman may want to kaow. 


Artificial Eyes. 

The artificial eyes proposed by Am- 
broise Pare were thin carved plates 
of gold, painted and enameled to match 
the sound eye. Glass eyes seem to 
have been of more recent origin, Pare's 
suggestion first appeared in his “Me- 
thode Curative des Playes de la Teste, 
Humaine,” folio 226, Paris, 1561, where 
he gives four Ulustrations showing the 
back and front of a right and left eye,

Strathcona Wins 


_—_ 


The final game in the Northern Div!- 
sion of the Provincial League went to 
the iocale at the Strathcona exhibition 
vrounds last night by arcore of 40, 
ihe game was advertised to bevin at 
seven o'vlock, but the Edmonton team 
were late in getting over and it was 
clowe to eivlit before a start was made 
The play could wot be called an exhibl- 
tion of high-class football, The grounds 
were wet and slippery, and the ball soon 
became #o greasy that accurate kicking 
and passing were very difieult, Lack 
of comlanation was aprarent too, eapec 
lally on the part of the team from the 


cepitalelty, The Btrathcona forwards 
did not play a9 consistently as urna, 
the condition of the 


but prosey 
ground accounted for thie toa great 
extent, Occasionally they showed o 
very pretty bit of passing, and such 
playe generally endelin seorws, The 
yume team scored two goale in each hall 
while the vieltors were unable to land 
the ball between the poste at all, though 
they made one or twoehote, In the 
fret half play wasallin the Edmonten 
territory, and after about twelve min- 
utes A. Hinaett, who wae playing with 
all hie oenal dash and fearlessness, 

the Gret goal. This put Edmonton on 
their metiicoand they worked bard to 
e@valize, bat Strathcona continued to 
press them hard, and a little before the 
hatrval Sid Judge notehed up another 


geal, 

Miter the restart Elmonton carried 
the game luto the Stratheona quarters 
and it looked dangerous fora while, 
bata olee parsing bour by the home 
forwards toon the ball right down the 
feld, and Sid Jadge onee more beat the 
opposing goalkeeper, Darkness war 
now rapidly coming on and It{was not 
easy to follow the play, The visitors 
were doing more attacking than in the 
fret half, bot the Strathoona backs 
were able to clear every time, and Laws 
den had practically nothing todo, Tie 
fourth gou! was shot by Sid Jadge, whe 
wae playing a magnificent game, and 
whose rapcriog at contre it would be

CURRENT COMMENT. | 


‘The local orgam of scribbling as 
sassing «draws an analogy between 
the secretary of the Board of Trade, 
whom it falsely charged with the do- 
lay of certain copy for an illustrat. 
ed write ap of the city, aad a cri 
intimal in the dock, 

The proof is increasing every day 
that one of the organ’s collabora- 
tors is quite familiar with that 
class, both from previous association 
amd present prospects, 

A forger, a liar, a dead-beat, an 
issuer of worthless cheques, has the 
seme chance of making the charge 
against the secretary «tick in the 
face of Mr, Stutehbury's denial as 
Orchard bad of convicting Haywood 
The accusations of criminals, liars, 
deadbeats, ‘snakes in the grass,’ to 
quote from the prewier of Alberta, 
and men of thelr kind are mot con- 
sidered very seriously now-a-days, 

"In vain self deception he will 
take that hundred te one chance, 
that he is clever enough to gull the 
body which employs hum.”” Hl that 
word employs were chaaged to 
“elects” how closely it would apply 
to one of the organ's collaborators. 


The City Council met this morm- 
ing to consider the advisability of 
spending the money to continue the 
public tmprovements ia the way of 
sidewalks and the like, The inten- 
tion was to Gnance the shame by 
buying the cement on three months’ 
time and getting the gravel trom 
the Hufl dredging company. 

My the time these liabilities would 
come due there would be payments 
of taxes sufficient to meet them, 

While the mayor and the engineer 
were in favor of going on with the 
ddewalk, the general opinion among 
the members of the aldermanic board 
wae that every dollar the city can 
command, outside of what is needed 
for urgent current expenses should be 
applied on debts the city owes, and 
ought to pay. There are men who 
have supplied material for the city 
who are practically tied up, by 
reason of the city’s impecuniosity, 
There are business men who are be 
hind with their bankers because the 
city owes money it cannot or will 
not pay. The Golds. MeCulloch 
Co,, of Galt, are owed @ snug sum 
em! have been exceptionally indul- 
gent in view of the fact that Mayor 
Mills disputed their account and 
treated them, to say the least, quite 
cavalierly, until it was shown that 
theirs was a just claim. 

The decision of the council is one 
that should meet with the very 
heartiest support of the — citizens, 
Rho city’s credit is more important 
than sidewalks, ite good eame 
be valued above the demand and 
importumitées of property owners, 
The sidewalks are needed badly 
enough but the stringency we hope 
will only be of a temporary nature, 
and in the meantime the walke can 
wait until the credit of the dity ts 
enhanted by the payment of some of 
its obligations, 4

The city council should appoint an 
official whose duty it would be to 
seo that the noxious weeds on pri- 
vate property in the city are des 
troyed, The council can look after 
the streets and lanes but there § are 
private lots on which weeds are 
growing that when gone to seed will 
poison the whole neighborhood, .. 


The Calgary Albertan and the Dai- 
lyNews are in the throes of a bet- 
ting contest over the circulation of 
their respective publications, The 
enormous sum of one hundred = dol- 
fare is involved, 

Byron, we believe it was, made 
remark to the effect that a bet was 
the last argument of a fool, but, 
that, of course would not apply in 
the case of our esteemed contempor- 
ares. It does beat all, however, 
how bewildering Calgary figures be- 
come. 


The following contains the 
substance of the speech 
im support of a resvlution which 


Mr. Pearce, of Calgary, introduced at 
the meeting of the Associated 
Boards of ‘Trade at Prince Abert, 
and which because of its importance, 
the array of facts with which it was 
supported by Mr. Pearce, and to get 
it before the meeting for discussion, 
was seoonded by the secretary of the 
Strathcona Board, who besides the 
mover was the only delegate who vo- 
ted for it. 

The provinve of Alberta has reach- 
ed a stage in its advancement 
where #& its own interests must be 
panamount, and where it must stand 
by those interests for its own pro- 


SA orphan tacaeeattta

the fu. 


Pearce with consunmnate clear- 


ness amd conciseness, and the = sul. 
ject shoukd commend the moet care 
ful consideration of the Alberta 


Hoarde of Trade during the coming 
months, 
seceding from the mterprovincial as- 
sociation 
best interests 


so that the ao iviewbility of 


may be dealt with in the 
of the provinee, 


While on the subjects of discus 
sions «it might be well to point 
out the absurdity of believing for 
one imtant that thee conventions 
are educational to the extent that 
they might be made, They do not 
approach what it is desired = they 
ehould in that respect. Thus take 
thie last convention, On Tuesday 
the forenoon sedsion was taken up 
wholly with routine work and elec 
tion of officers. In the afternoon 
about three hours were devoted to 
discussion of subjects On Wednew 
day about four or four and one 
half at the moet, and on Thure 
day two and onehalf hours, a to 
tal of not more than 10 hours gt 
ven to SV subjects 

Further it seemed to be the alm 
of many delegates when they had 
an opportunity to speak to spend 
most of the time in extolling the 
merits of the district which they re 
presented, While that may be a 
good practice to adopt on many 
occasions, it in submitted that it is 
not in a convention such as this, 

Certain districte took up more 
than their share of the time of the 
convention, or rather delegates em- 
braced every opportunity to praise 
the particular merite of the district 
they represented, 

Ii an association were liakted to 
each province it is, | think, abso- 
lutely certain that each province 
would haw more delegates to its 
Convention more generally represen- 
tative, greater interest would be ex- 
cited, less distance to travel = and 
more interest in common, 

On several occasions during = the 
last meoting it was perfectly clear 
that the interests of the two pro- 
vinces were far from being united, 
Take the matter of obtaining a 
grade of Alberta oate and the re 
wolution in favor of promoting the 
immigration of skilled labor; both 
were voted on from provbncial lines 
This is @ temlency that will grow 
from year to year, and it is to 
the interest of both provinces that 
they should divorce themselves be 
fore the clashing of interests becem- 
es too great, That it will arike 
and increase year by your there is 
not the slightest doubt, 

The assertion that the two pro- 
Vinces combined exercise more in 
fluence im the provincial parliasment 
and = it is chiefly in that pariia- 
ment that any pressure by it can 
be exercised, will not bear investi- 
gation, A resolution of united 
boards of trade presented to the 
parliament of Alberta would not 
receive nearly the attention one 
would anticipate from the boards 
of trade of the province alone. 

Take our dairy interests, We are 
looking largely if not wholly fora 
market in the west--Saskaichewan 
is not; probwbly gever will, 

While there are many cattle rear- 
ed in Saskatchewan, it is pot the 
stock country that Alberta is, and 
therefore the slaughtering or dead 
meats trade will never be a live 
one with them, or at least not 
nearly as much so as with Alber- 
ta, 

In the matter of sheep 
same conditions largely exist. 

Jn the matter of horses: Alberta 
as @ province ie exporting them, 
Saskatchewan importing them, 

Take the matter of coal produc: 
tion: We are and will more and 
more become an eXporting province 
in coal, and Saskatchewan an im- 
porting one. A condition which 
will enable a very clear, distinet 
line between the respective interests 
to be developed, 

In the matter of railway trans- 
portation, taking into  convidera- 
tion the cost of fuel, almost @ to- 
tal absence of snow blockades, Al- 
berta might reasonably expect to 
have a very much lower rate of 
transportation than could logical- 
ly be accorded Saskatchewan. 
through the Associated Boards of 
Trade would Alberta fare favorab- 
ly? Certainly not. 

Agein take the subject of irriga- 
tion—one so far as Alberta is con. 
cerned is of very large interest, No 
imterest at all could be created in 
Saskatchewan. 

Though one can never forsee ful- 
ly what the future has in store,

the Associated Boards meeting at 
Prince Albert the subject was on the

the opposition of the Sadmtehewan

bined to defeat the resolution, ‘The

allows subjects of grave gonenal in

The infermation was yvouchwafed at

The products of this loewlty could not

3 WHEN THE

CAME ome

CeOeOeOeOeOeOOeOeOeOeOeOeO 


Jennings sprang forward as the pas- 
sengers entered at the Fulton street 
station, In the first moment of glad- 
ness at seeing Nell Preston again he 
did not even recall that bis letters had 
been returned without explanation 
three months before and that since 
then his communications had been re 
turned unread. 

Nell passed him without a glance of 
recognition, and as he followed her 
down the car a hand shot out and 
caught his collar. “See here, you 
dude,” abjured a husky Irish voice. 
“You can't do any mashing In this car. 
You keep away from that lady.” 

Jennings cast a look of appeal at the 
girl, but she gazed at him with a po 
lite but Impersonal Interest. Clearly 
she would not interfere to clear him of 
the charge, and he sank back into a 
corner of the car and sought to sbield 
himself with a newspaper from the 
titters of the crowd. 

The car filled at the bridge stop, and 
this helped a little, but he felt as 
though those already in the car were 
telling the new arrivals of his conduct, 
and he read on steadily. 

In his confusion he did not notice 
that the train was slowing down until, 
with a jolt, it came to a dead stop. 
Then he glanced out of the window, 
but to his surprise there was only the 
blank wall, so he settled himself more 
comfortably in his seat and resumed 
his pretense of reading. 

Iie did not see the printed page. He 
had not read a line since he opbned 
the paper. Fils mind was busy with 
achemes for inducing Nell to listen to 
him, If she went back to Ban Fran- 
claco he could not hope to reopen cor 
respondenee, and he could not endeavor 
to speak to her again with that busky 
knight errant keeping guard across the 
alsle. 

If he only knew how he had angered 
ber be might be able to explain, but

HE TOILED ALONG FOR A BLOCK BEFORE 
ME COULD Grmaxk, 

it never would do to let her get away 
now, Ile did not know where ahe was 
staying or how long she would be to 
town, His only hope lay tn following 
her and endeavoring to outwit the self 
constituted champion, 

ilies mind was atl busy with the 
problem when he became aware of 
trouble ta the car, The press around 
the door was heavy, and now he caught 
the voice of the guard raised in protest 

“I tell you,” be protested, “we can't 
run en to the station or back down to 
Worth street, We ain't got the power.” 

“The lights are lit. There must be 
power,” argued the spokesman, 

“That comes from overhead, The con 
tact rali is cut off, If it wasn't the 
whole tunnel would be Oiled with elec 
tricity, The water's more than twe 
feet deep.” 

Jennings looked up tn astonishment, 
He had been «0 oblivious to the affairs 
fn the car that he had not realised that 
the stop in the hot tunnel had been ua- 
duly long. Now he was conscious of 
the falut roar of falling water, and he 
sprang to his feet, Inatinctively be 
turned to Nell, but the angry press 
about the door would not permit him 
to make any headway toward her, He 
could catch an occasional glimpse of 
the falr head and could see that she 
was sitting in her place, white faced, 
but calm, 

The argument with the guard was 
Increasing In beat, and at last one of 
the leaders jerked at the lever until the 
door opened, and then he swung him- 
self off, There was a splash that an- 
nounced bia landing, and the next mo 
ment a shout announved that the water 
was not deep, 

The men crowded to the narrow en- 
trance until there were left in the car 
only half a dozen women and two or 
three men, The husky man across the 
alslo was the last to go, and as he 
turned to the door he stepped back In- 
tu the car, ' 

“If you're waiting to speak to the 
lady you'd better drop off,” he de 
clared, “I told the guard to keep an 
eye on you, He's a wise boy all right. 
Now you behave, Gussie, or some one 
will spank you,” 

The burly form swung down off the 
ear, Deprived of the protection of 
most of the men. the women left ip 

car grew nervous, and most of 
them crowded about the guard asking 
questions, 

With growing Irritability he explain- 
ed that something had broken and had 
flooded the subway, but he did not 
know what it was or how long it! 
would last, 

Nell, sitting unnoticed tn the center 
of the car, grew more and more nerv- 
ous, Most of the women who had 
congregated about the guard settled 
themselves near the door, It appeared 
to give them a feeling of greater se 
curity to be close to the exit, Occa-

doorway ahd, retuttiing, repért the’ih- 
crease of the flood. 

With each recurring report Nell grew 
more restiess, and at last she came 
forward uncertainly and sat beside the 
othefs, They ignored her completely 
in their excitement, and so she turned 
to the guard. 

His patience, already sorely tried, 
gave way, and with a curt remark 
that if she had been listening she was 
already in possession of all the infor 
mation he possessed he turned into the 
other car. 

Tremblingly she turned back, and as 
she passed him Jennings sprang up. 

“Don't be alarmed,” he sald. “I don't 
suppose that there is anything much 
the matter, They have been opening 
the sides of the subway along here for 
ventilators, and | suppose that the 
raln has softened the dirt and caused 
a water main to snap. If there was 
any real danger they would probably 
come after us. I suppose it merely 
means a vexatious delay.” 

“Mother will be so worrled,” she 
sald plaintively. “Il went downtown 
to see about some business for ber, 
We were to have started home to- 
night.” 

“I am afraid you will have to walt 
over until tomorrow,” he sald quietly. 
“They will have to bring down pomps 
from the yards at the other end of the 
line, It will take some time to clear 
the tunnel, If you want me to I think 
T can fix It.” 

Jennings stepped Into the next car. 
“Which is the nearest station?’ be 
asked, “Worth or Canal?” 

“Worth, | guess,” was the noncom- 
mittal response, “Better go that way 
if you want to make the trip, Water's 
pretty deep now.” 

“I'll chance it,” was the easy an- 
sewer, He stepped back Into the other 
ear and beckoned to Nell. “We can 
make the trip If you don't waut to re 
main here,” he suggested, 

“1 could never wade through all that 
water,” she shuddered, 

“1 ean carry you,” he explained, 
“We will go to the rear car, and I'll 
drop off, then catch you and carry you 
back to Worth street, It ls Just a short 
trip.” 

“I thought you were told to keep 
away from that lady,” snarled the 
guard, welcoming the prospect of « 
fight if only to relieve his feellogs. 

“This gentleman ts an old friend of 
mine,” sald Nell, “Please go away.” 

The disappointed guard settled back 
in a seat, and they passed on. At the 
rear of the train Jennings dropped off, 
then raised bis arms, 

“Take It easy,” he warned, and a mo 
ment later he bad her safe. The water 
was above his knees, and from its sur 
face rose a thick foul steaw that 
was almost stifing, He tolled aloug 
for a block before he could speak, Then 
he looked down inte dhe pale face rest 
ing against bie shoulder, 

“Why are you angry?’ be sald, 
“What bave I done?” 

“The Mat letter [ read,” she sald 
slowly, “was written to another girl 
and io an assumed band, I did not 
think that you could be so base,” 


“A letter to Grace?” he asked eager | 


ly. 

“Yeu,” she assented, 

Jennings laughed. 

“That's why Jimmie Belding doesn’t 
hear frow ber any more, We thought 
it funny we both should get In trouble 
at the same time, The letters got 
mixed, No more writing tu my roomea,” 

They went on to the darkness, and 
presently Jenulogs spoke agalu 

“lL am afraid that yor will not get 
that train tomorrow, either,” be sald, 

“What le the matter?” she asked, 
rousing bereelf from the letbargy that 
had been toduced by the fumes from 
the Good, 

“I'm golng to marry you tomorrow,” 
be explained, 

“Yea, dear,” she agreed, “if we ever 
get out of this,” 

He pointed ahead to where the lights 
of the station gleamed through the va- 
por, “It's not far now to home and 
happiness,” be sald, is 

“Happiness with you,” she murmur 
ed as she raised ber face to receive his 
ties, “I'm glad I was caught in that 
flood.”

Hollow Glass Bricks. 

The demand for hollow bricks and 
ouilding blocks for house construction 
sas induced glass manufacturers to 
put hollow glass bricks on the mar- 
ket, and they promise to be used ex-

solid, proved a failure on account of 
their cost, but the hollow glass bricks 
can be made at a much less expense, 
They are lighter and stronger than 
day bricks and are such excellent

The bricks are sealed hermetically

Macaron! Is one of those foodstuffs 
of which the average cook does not | 
avall herself nearly as much as she 
might with advantage. It lends itself 
alike to some of the simplest forms of 
cookery as well as to dishes of a more 
elaborate description. It may be em- 
ployed in conjunction with all kinds of 
meats and poultry, or It may be served 
alone as a farinaceous dish, and it pos- 
seases the advantage that it contains 
in Itself quite sufficient nutriment to 
qualify it to take the place of a meat 
dish when desirable. In buying maca- 
ron! it Is well worth while to take a 
little trouble to procure the best qual- 
ity, as the results are so much more 
satisfactory. 

| The water in which It is cooked should 
always be boiling fast when it Is put 
in. As to the time necessary for boil 
ing, it Is impossible to give exact dl- 
rections, because some kinds of maca- 


ronl require much longer than others, 
but it should be cooked until it can 
| Just be divided with a fork by pressing 
it againat the edge of the pan, but not 
until it is pappy or loses shape. If, 
however, it is subsequently to be fur 
ther subjected to the cooking process 
for any length of time, as is the case 
when it Is baked or steamed, a some 
jwhat shorter period may be given

THE CHRONICLE, STRATHCONA, 


HOLDING A SKIRT. 


The Way it May Be Done Gracefully 
and With Comfort. 

To hold a circular skirt in a becom 
Ing way bend the body slightly at the 
waist line, dropping the right hand as 
far down the back as it will reach 
Then, with the finger tips, take oppo 
site the knees the edges of two of the 
back folds, or gores, gather them into 
& light but firm loop and pull gently 
tround the body to the right, lifting 
the material upward until on a line 
with the hip; then bend the wrist 
blightly, so it will be comfortable, and 
rest the hand on the hip bone, so that 
there will be no strain on the muscles 
of the arm. 

If the skirt Is so long that the bot- 
tom on the opposite side touches the 
ground, a few horizontal folds should 
be made tn the material, At the same 
time the gores In the back are gather 
ed together, and then there will be no 
chance for the skirt to drag, for the 
cloth will be held so tightly that the 
improvised plaits will stay in place, 
eays an exchange, Or if a woman 
wishes and has both hands free she 
ean hold the folds and give a balance 
to her figure that It would otherwise 
be without, 

Carrying a full gathered skirt, such 
as is often worn to the opera, recep- 
tions and for dinners, Is quite a simple 
matter, for it is nothing more than 
making a bag by folding the ends of 
4 handkerchief together, 

The ekirt Is picked up with thambs 
and forefingers at the back by the bot- 
tom or edge of the hem and straight- 
ened out at the waist line, while the 
hands are extended as far to right and 
left as they will reach, When the ma- 
terial has been settled in folds around 
the walst, with one hand bolding the 
two sides together In front, the skirt 
is caught up directly in the middle of 
the front, and the three edges are held 
firmly in either the right or left hand. 
Held in this way under an opera cape 
or long cloak, a frock with a train or 
one that is unusually long can be man- 
aged with little diMeulty —Exchange. 


HOME DRESSMAKING. 


Avoiding the Long Strain of Standing 
to Have a Skirt Hung. 

1 am sure this will help home dress 
makers. Finish the skirt all but the 
hem, put It on and adjust it property. 
Take a yardstick, place one end on the 
floor close to the feet and allow the 
stick to rest againat the front of the 
‘kirt. Mark the-top of the stick on 
the skirt with a pin, Move the stick 
slong to the aide, being careful to see 
that it ts always vertical and not

Birds Eat Scale Insects, 

Few kinds of insects are so inimical 
, to the health and existence of fruit 
trees and other crop plants as the 
scales, and owing to their small size 
and peculiar habits few are so diffi- 
cult to cope with, It has been gen- 
erally supposed that birds lend no 
assistance in the destruction of scales, 
This proves to be an error, for the 
| biological survey has already found

EGGS FOR HATCHING. 
Sizes and Shapes to Select and Those 
to Exctude. 
Professor C. K. Grabam of the Storrs 
| experiment station, Counecticnt, says 
that the shippers may be expected to 
give fair sized smooth eggs from 
bealthy birds in return for the money 
he receives always with the order. 
ltough, thin shelled, dirty and mottled 
eggs should be excluded, and, while it 
ig possible that small eggs may be as 
fertile and produce as many chicks as 


1—DEST 8OGS YOR HATCHING, 


larger eggs, still it is probable that 
pulleta batched from such will bave o 
tendeney to lay small eggs. 

It is advisable to buy eggs unter 
five days old at the time of shipping 
Bach ege should be carefully dated 
when taken from the nest to guard 
against error on this point, While 
good batches bave been secured from 
egas three weeks old, when placed to 
the Incubator, as a rule, a good batch 
cannot be expected to come out after 
they are ten days old. Too much care 
cannot be taken In packing. Since 
boxes sent by express are likely to be 
thrown and baskets carried, the latter 
should be preferred. An ordinary bas 
ket, with plenty of excelaior in the bot 
tom and sides, well cushioned, makes 
an excellent receptacle, In this the 
eces, ench carefully wrapped, shoukl 
be packed and over them plenty of 
| padding placed. 

Cheesecloth or cotton tacked over the 
top fofme a satisfactory cover, Such

package the eggs should not be re

Bheep For Cleaning Land. 

The sheep breeder or feeder know- 
ing that there is good money in his 
Kind of live stock does not bave much 

tence with the man who wants to 
eop his fock on briers, bushes and 
weeds, He knows that sheep repay 
the use of the best feed the farm af- 
| fords. Granting af that, there is an 
Immense number of farmers who do 
hot want to go into the business of 
producing mutton and woo! and should 
aot do #o, but on many of their farins 
there is a place for some sheep to take 
the place of farm labor for cleaning 
up land, says National Stockman and 
Farmer, There are tidy farmers who 
depend upon a flock of home bred 
theep or a bunch of western yearlings 
to clean out the weeds in stubble fleids 
and fence rows and in old meadows. 
They earn their way till feeding time 
to the late fall, The scarcity of farm 
help has driven “people to the use of 
all labor saving devices, and among 
them is a flock of sheep for fighting 
weeds and other undesirable growth, 


The Newer Feeds. 

Molasses feeds are relatively new in 
some of the eastern feed markets 
They are, broadly speaking, admix- 
| tures of waste molasses and cugars 

with sundry grain products and offals 
| or with beet pulp, Four out of seven 
brands examined in Vermont by the 
experiment station were found not 
equal to the promise made for them. 


Experiments In Corn Culture, 

Experiments in the different phases 
_ of corn culture carried on by nearly 
all the stations have shown the advan- 
, tages of frequent and shallow cultive- 
| ton and have given rise to the more 
general adoption of this method by 
farmers, who are finding that thelr re 
sults confirm the station recommenda 


Poultry Raising. 

One of the best talks given at a re 
cent county institute was by a bright 
and wide awake farmer's wife on the 
subject of poultry raising, In the 
course of her remarks, which were 
practical and helpful, one point was 
dwelt upon which is worth more than 
passing notice. Bhe made a plea for 
the passage of a pure food law which 
would compel the labeling of all pre- 
served, packed and cold storage eggs, 
thereby removing them from competi- 
tion with strictly fresh laid stock, 
She held it an injustice that while the 
prone often got better prices for the 
resh eggs than for the storage pro- 
duct under no circumstances would 
he give the egg producer more for 
the fresh laid article, As the situa- 
tion is there is no incentive to have 
hens ay in winter, when eggs are 

rodui at heavy expense, “f they 
reteh pe ere Rea \ oeee packed in 

ugus costing 10 cents per 
dozen. The point is well tabanthe 
packed stuff ought to be labelled. 


DAIRY HEIFERS. 


They Should Be Carefully Bred to 
Commence Mulking Barty. 

A correspondent writes asking when, 
in our judgment, heifers Intended for 
the dairy should be first bred. The 
general opinion on the subject, and we 
believe it is correct, says Wisconsin 
Farmer, is that belfers totended for 
the dairy should be bred so as to 
come In with their first calves at about 
two years old. The milking function, 
earried to the extent which good dairy 
practice requires, is a highly artificial 
one, and early breeding {s one of the 
steps necessary to the Intensification 
of the milking habit. If the heifer be 
not bred early, she is likely to acquire 
the habit of using the liberal though 
not fattening food she should have for 
the purpose of making flesh, This, if a 
habit, Is quite fatal to the usefulness 
of the heifer Intended for dairying. 

Feeding, management, breeding, ete., 
should be directed to its prevention 
without, however, starving or stunting 
the animal. It ts alleged, with some 
show of truth, that early breeding de- 
tracts from the size of the cow when 
matured and also that it ts likely to 
have an adverse influence upon consti. 
tution. As has been intimated, there is 
probably some trvth tn both of these 
objections to early breeding, but the 
world we live in is one to which we 
must pay the price for anything we get 
that is worth having. 

Barly Breeding. 

It ts probable that the Intensifica- 
tion of any quality in the breeding of 
domestic animals ts not attained with- 
out a encrifice of something else. 
Sometimes the sacrifice is one that can 
well be made, and sometimes It is one 
that we would prefer not to make, but 
in any event we must pay the cost of 
the quality we desire to exalt. That 
early breeding does reduce size and 
scale ie altogether probable, but these 
are qualities that are not particularly 
essential In the dairy cow, and the 
early breeding is attended with couse- 
quences much more inportant to the 
dairyman than any consideration of 
mere size. It is poss!ble, too, that con- 
stitution may suf er to some extent 
from early breeding, but thia, too, ts 
one of the things that must be tn part 
endured and in part compensated by 
the better care and greater attention 
to the protection of the cow from con- 
sequences of some little weakness |a 
this respect. 

It will not do to encourage the wilk- 
ing faculty by every possible meana, 
early breeding included, and then al 
low the cow to find her only shelter 
against the winter blasts on the south 
side of a wire fence or in the victnity 
of a straw stack, but If care, shelter 
and attention to the comfort of the 
cow are given, that should be giveu, 
the fact that she ta not quite so hardy 
asa scrub rustier would be can well be 
endured and indeed must be endured 
if a profitable dairy cow is sought for, 
Helfers should therefore be bred, we 
think, #0 as to come in fresh at about 
two years old, The maternal function, 
of which milking Is but a branch, ts 
thus encouraged early and made a 
characteristic of the animal throughout 
ber life, 


Dairy Talk of Today 


If dairymen would expose all milk 
utensils to the sun and alr there would 
be leas trouble from poor milk, Btroug 
sunlight kills bacteria rapidly, and 
when a can has not been thoroughly 
cleaned or a crack is left with a little 
casein that will quickly spoll exposure 
to the sunlight will to a great extent 
remedy the carelessness of the dairy- 
man, 


Milking Ver Pastime. 

Every cow in the herd should return 
4 profit to her owner, but do they? If 
they do not they should be discarded 
and better ones substituted, Milking 
lan't so much pleasure to many farm- 
ers that they would milk for pastime, 
yet many aro really doing so, Weed 
out the unprofitable cows If it takes 
the whole herd. 

Breeding Jersey Heifers. 

Cecil A. Todd of Toledo, O,, writes 
the Practical Farmer on this subject 
as follows; Ove mistuke a good many 
farmers make is in breeding Jersey 
heifers too young. A much better way 
ia to let them get their growth, at least 
three years, Keep them in a separate 
Jot if necessary after they are eighteen 
months old, If permitted to bring 
calves before they have thelr growth 
they make small cows and yield less 
milk, The calves also are amalior, as a 
rule, It is not always best to be in too 
wreat a hurry to get abead in the 
world. A space of six or nine months 
is not #0 long to walt, and it Ja infinite- 
ly better for the cow, Other things be- 
ing equal, a cow will sell for more at 
any kind of sale, public or private, if 
she is of good average size, 

A Convincing Argument, 

Lots of dairy farmers are halting by 
“he wayside, wondering if they had 
better build a silo, says Hoard’s Dairy- 
man, One thing te certaln—they will 
hever know any more about it where 
they are. The Oblo experiment station 
put the question to the following test: 
‘They fed one lot of cows a heavy al- 
lage ration and another lot a beavy 
grain ration, The result was in favor 
of the ensilage fed cow, As L. W. 
Lighty says in the National Stockman, 
“Can we make more dollars bandling 
the corn grain by way of the crib or 
the silo, stalks to be ensiloed at thy 


earliest stage we usually cut it up in, 


the shock?’ He then cites the results 
of the Oblo experiment, which was 
that the ensilage fed cows made their 
butter for 18 cents a pownd, while the 
cows fed dry fodder hay and a heavy 
grain ration charged 22 cents a pound,

which two were ordered last year and 
two more will be laid down thie year, 
will also surprise the world, and inti 
mates that further credits for the Ger

\F “ROOM FURNISHINGS, ~ 


They Should Be Simple, 
Sanitary and Artistic, 
Do fot act on the supposition thut 
everything old is beautiful. “Your 
grandfather's taste may have been 
worse than yours,” observes an ex- 
pert. Do not buy many things. 
hot make a museum of your house, 
The furnishings should be adapted to 
the use to which the family wishes to 
put them. The life for which the white 
and gold chair was designed is elab- 
orately and distantly formal. Conven- 
tionality and ceremony rather than 


Durable, 


cozy comfort are suggested by the | em, 
white and gold room, The use of the ar 


room and the purpose of the article 
should be kept in mind tn the selection 
of furniture, 

Furvishings should be simple, dura- 
ble, sanitary and artistic, Color is one | 
of the most important elements In the 

| selection of furnishings. Do we real- 
ize that the Indefinable difference be 
tween the restful room and the Inhar- 
monious room is largely a matter of 
color? A room requires its color to be 
in unison If it Is to soothe and rest. 

Frequently the householder may re- 
call Mortis’ words, “Have nothing In 
your homes that you do not know to 
be useful or believe to be beautiful.” 
And those from Henderson: “One must 
surround oneself with wholesomeness 
and beauty. This parallelism between 
conciseness and nature makes this in- 


battleships, of | Sl#tence upon convenience of arrange- 


ment and respect for form and color 
more than a mere matter of taste. It 
makes it a matter of moral obligation. 
A man’s surroundings are not acet- 
dental, They are a part of himself and 
must likewise be chastened and purt- 
fled. An ugly room, badly lighted, 
poorly ventilated, inadequately heated, 
must be regarded as morally repre- 
hensible, whether provided for oneself 
or for somebody else. It Is the projec- 
tion of an evil thought and, entering 
into consciousness, lowers the level of 
human life.”"—Boston Traveler. 


THE CARE OF RUGS. 
How to Sweep Large Ones and te Duet 
Small Ones. 


Some housekeepers have concluded 
that they prefer two or three small 
rugs in a room to one large one which 
fa too heavy for a woman to handle 
and beat. A great single rug covering 
the center of the room looks well, even 
if of no better quality than a goed 
Smyrna, But smaller rugs must be of 
better quality to prove satisfactory. 
Provided there is a large rug down 
and no man willing or to be hired to 
beat It, by care it can be kept in fair 
condition for several weeks. Of course 
it must be swept where it is, Having | 
dusted the movable ornaments and 
chairs and carried them to another | 
room and dusted and covered other 
things that are conveniently moved, 
sweep the rug in the direction of the 
warp in short strokes and take up the 
dirt along the edges on the floor, Now 
aweep the rug again in the opposite 
direction after scattering over it bits 
of dampened newspaper pressed as 
dry as possible, Turn the edges up 
and brush out underneath for a few 
Inches, Now sweep the bere floor with 
a dust brush, and after the dust has 
settiod wipe the foor with a slightly 
damp cheesecloth and the rug with an- 
other cheesecloth dampened in water 
to which a few drops of ammonia have 
been added. In this way the rug will 
look bright and be quite free from 
dust, 

Tea leaves when used to take up 
dust are apt to stain delicate colors, 
The above method of cleaning a rug 
may seem troublesome to one who 
would prefer to attack it with a broem 
and give it a vigorous digging, but it 
would be no cleaner by her treatment, 
and the walla and furniture would be 
loaded with dust, to say nothing of 
discomfort to the aweeper in breathing 
the dust, 

If amall rugs are used, do not allow 
them to be takea out and shaken by 
one end or, In fact, shaken at all, for 
this le the way to break them Into rags, 
along the edges at least, Hang over a 
line and beat with @ rattan, or, better 
yet, have the rugs laid on the grass 
and beaten on the wrong side first and 
then turned.--Chicago Inter Ocean,

mary of statistics of fleld crops and 
live stock for 1906, as compared with 
the census of 1901, has just been is- 
sued at Ottawa, 

In Manitoba the census of last year 
showed 205,183 males and 160,506 fe- 
males, Winnipeg has 60,461 males 
and 39,692 females, Brandon 6,766 
males and 4,652 females. Saskatche-

males, Alberta has 108,281 males and 
77,151 females, In all three provinces 
there are 466,257 males and 42,606 
females, leaving a preponderance of 
125,651 males, 

In 1906 there were in the three pro: 
vinces 120,439 farms, as compared 
with 55,625 in 1901, an increase of 665, 
814. Manitoba now has 35,441 farms, 
Saskatchewan 64,787, and Alberta 30, 
211. The increase in the number of 
farms over 190) were; Manitoba, 3,629; 
Saskatchewan, 41,407; Alberta, 20,778. 

In 1906 there were 682,919 horses in 
the three provinces, as compared with 
340,529 in 1901; 384,006 milch cows, ag 
compared with 244,216; 1,560,902 other

BROTHERHOOD OF 8ST. ANDREW 


The Brotherhood of 8t. Andrew is a 
organization of men in the Anglica 
oo nmunion, the sole purpose of whiei 
is, in the words of the constitution 
“the spread of Christ's  kingdon 
ainong men, especially young men. 
The simplicity of the object and thr 
simplicity of the rules have alwa 

0 the strengta of the order, Th 
two rules of the Brotherhood are, firs 
Vy of Prayer, namely, “To pray daily 
or the spread of Christe kingdon 
among men, eapecially young men, anc 
for God's blessing upon the labors o 
the Brotherhood’; secondly, of Ser 
viee, namely, “To make at least one 
earnest effort each week to lead som 
man nearer to Christ through Mb 
ohureh.” 

The Brotherhood Was formed ti 
frecortnition of the fact that every 
Christian man is pledged to devote hie 
life to the extension of the kingdom 
of Cariat on earth, It te compan dl ot 
men who are understood to have ac 
kno vielge! this responsibility as reat 
ing on themeelves, i who are ready 
to etrive, like 8t. Andrew, to bring 
their brother to the knowledge of 
Jesus Christ, This is the fundamental 
principle upon which the Brotherhood 
or been established and developed. 

The growth of the Brotherhood has 
been phenomeial. From «a small be 
ginning in Bt. James church, Chicago 
some twenty years ago, it has inoreased 
to nearly every land in whieh the 
Anglican communion ia represented 

ja, the United States, the Weat 
Bngland, Sootland, Lreland 
1 and other have strong 
centres of, Brotherhood activities, th 
United States branch alone comprising 
154,000 members, and employing five 
travelling secretaries. 

The Brotherhood in Canada has at 
the present time two travelling seere 
taries in the field, one for the weet 
and the other working tn the east 
Since the appointment of these men 
the Brotherhood has grown from LE 
chapters in 1902, with a mombership of 
680, to «4 present 326 chapters with « 
membership of 5,000. The object tr 
not so much to increase ite member 
ship as it is to surround each of the 
olergy with a band of ten of twenty 
men pledged to prayer and service for 
the extens! of Christ's kingdom, 

A Dominion convention of the 


anfeation is to be held in Winniy 
fay 25, 24, 26 and 26, 1007. Delega 
will be in attendance from all pointe 


from Halifax to Vancouver, as well ar 
the United Btates, and maty notable 
speakers will attend and deliver the 
aidresses, A strong programme har 
been prepared, and convention litera 
ture may be obtained upon applice 
tion to the secretary the Dominios 
convention Brotherhood of Bt, Andrew 
care Bynod Offices, Winnipeg, Dele 
ates from parishes where no Brother 
food chapter exists will be especially 
welcome, Full particulars may be ob 
tained upon application, 

This is the first time that the Do 
minion convention has been held in 
the west, and it should prove @ great 


impetus to the Brotherhood and 
church work generally in this part of 
Canada,

Hard limes For Dogs, 
More than 6,000 lost and stray dogs 
were admitted to the Dogs’ Home at 
Battersea during ‘the first six weeks 
of this year, This number is nearly 
#0 per cent, higher than the admis. 
sions for the corresponding period 
of last year, 
The eavority of them have already 
passed through the lethal chamber to 
the crematorium, but there are in the 
home at the present time fully 1,000 
dogs of every imaginable breed, and 
the kennel accommodation is severely 
taxed in spite of the recent exten- 
sions, 
Although the number of admissions 
has increased so largely, the number 
of persons visiting the home to search 
for lost dogs or to buy new pets has 
fallen off--a combination of cireum- 
stances which suggests that many dog 
owners have been chary of assuming 
the responsibilities which the new act | 
smpoees on them.

New Methods In an Art That le Old 
A Pittsburg Romance. 

One of the musical Instruments 

whose popularity vever seems to dimin 


| Ish Is the violin, alias the fiddle, There 


is a story to the effect that one of the 
ploneer settlers of western Pennsylva 
hia gave 1,500 acres of land tn ex 
change for a beautiful tostrument 
made by Steiner, the successor of the 
renowned Stradivarius, and the land 


| thus given Is the site of Pittsburg 


Then there is the story of the rviollu 
maker In New York who bought up old 
rafters to turn Into Instruments, some 
of bis choicest productions being cary 
ed out of the wood taken from &t 
Matthew's, a downtown church razed 
about half a century ago. 

In the country districts the fiddle 
who presides at dances in barus o 
town halls Is as prominent a figure as 
ever, and In the schools of music the 
student of the violin is in @ fair way 
to become the nucleus of the future 
American orchestra, which today Is 
largely made up of Puropeans, in Bos 
ton George W. Chadwick, the well 
known composer, has Introduced the 
practice of using members of the big 
Bymphony Orchestra to ait alongside

to attend the rehearsals regularly, and 


the performances are under the direc

One GBided Girl, 

“She has pretty hair,” the athletic 
girl admitted, “but it is never droased 
evenly. The right side always looks 
much better than the left.” 

“That ts because she never moves 
her bureau,” said the wise gir), “Ter 
room is so small that she enno't haul 
things around, so month in .nd month 
out ber looking glass st.nde te the 
same corner by the window, and month 
in and month out she (resses with her 
right side to the light and the left in 
shadow, 

“Consequently one half of ber face 
and bair is well groomed, while the 
othor half gets only a lick and a prom- 
fee, Any girl who would avoid looking 
one sided must dreas one week with 
her right side to the window, the next 
week with her left aide to the light.” 


SAP OF THE SUGAR MAPLE. 


How the Gweet Liquid ts Gtored In the 
Tree—Warmth Makes It Flow, 

There is much difference of opinion 
as to where the sap in a sugar tree 
comes from, It does not come from 
the ground by the roots, but is In the 
tree and has been all winter in the 
form of starch deposited in the cells 
of the soft wood under the bark, | 
When the weather becomes warm 
enough tn the spring to set in action 
the vital processes of the tree, this 
starch la changed Into sugar and the 
cella become so full of tho sweet sap 
as to exert a great pressure on them, 
The warmth of the spring sun starts 
this vital action, and the sap circulates 
through the cella on the way to the 
buds, which soon swell out and burst 
tuto leaf, When the tree is tapped by 
the sugar maker, the pressure of the 
sap on the cells forces it out of the 
opening made, There ts no special 
current up from the roots or down to 
them; the treo ts almply filled with 
sap all through the soft wood and 
mostly at that part of it immediately 
under the bark. Here new wood ts 
formed of the matter heid In solution 
in the sap, 

The sap will fow while the ground ts 
still frozen, for it is warmth in the alr 
that causes the flow and not the action 
of the roots in the soll, Therefore it ts 
quite useless, as some people do, to 
spread any little or other nonconduct | 
lng matter under the tree for the pur 
pose of keeping the ground frozen te 
delay the budding. If this effect be de 
sired, the whole tree must be covered 
in and kept in a dormant condition by 
a low temperature all over.-Chicage |

For a night, for a day, 
In « land far away, 
Ruled 4 sweet litle princess of six. 
What she did in those hours 
In her faraway bowers

There is one thing she did 
That can never be hid— 
She mixed mustard with sugar and spice 
When her subjects so gay 
Came to dine on that day 
They made faces that weren't very nice, 


Then she went out tw walk 
With a doll that could talk, 

And the dol! talked so loud and so long 
That the sweet Mttle maid 
Said, “I'm very much ‘fraid

One is that women act as conductors

Twain had it, “the blue strip slip for 
a five-cont fare,”’ collecting the coins 
fully as well as her masculine com-

the shoe stores all the “salesmen” are 
girls and women, and in the tele 
graph offices in city and country 
young women are invariably found as 
operators. And they do their work 
well, too. But to offeet this, in a 
Chilian hotel or boarding house and 
in many residences, men do the work 
af the chambermaid. Ameriean women 
are always shocked to find that a man 
servant “takes care’ of the sleeping 
rooms in the hotels of Chili.
